A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 203
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 203
The Tyrant made a sharp turn in the air at the sudden attack of the extraordinary Dragon Slash.
For Balrog who never backs down it was an act that went against his instincts.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The energy of the Dragon Slash unleashed by Zigg hit the Tyrant’s right wing.
Phagec!
The tyrant’s huge wings were blown away as if they had been hit by a dragon’s strike.
[Kuaaaah!]
The tyrant let out a roar and rushed down to the floor of the arena where Zig was.
Kwakwakwakwang!
As Zeke dodged the flying kick the Tyrant’s gigantic body was stuck in the arena floor.
[Krrrrrr!]
Even though he lost one of his wings the tyrant’s power was not broken.
He rose up his eyes glowing with a sinister red light.
[Kaaaaaaah!]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tyrant with sharp claws charged towards Zeke.
At the same time it swept the arena floor with its strong tail that seemed to be covered in iron armor.
Kwakwakwakwang!
The tail of the tyrant engulfed in magic was a weapon that was nothing short of a nightmare in itself.
If there had been a unit of ordinary soldiers in front they would have been completely annihilated by a single swing of the tyrant’s tail.
Wheeeeeek!
Zeke dodged the Tyrant’s tail here and there stepping on the welcome mat.
He took out the magic stone of Balrog that he had obtained from the arena and absorbed it while avoiding the tyrant’s tail.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Thanks to this most of Zeke’s lost stamina and mana were restored.

He immediately pulled the chain out of his left arm.
Previously I tried not to use the Soul Seal technique because it consumed too much mana to maintain it but it seemed dangerous to delay it any longer.
Chorrrrrrrr!
A chain stretched out from Zeke’s hand and wrapped around the Tyrant’s tail.
Kkwadduk!
The tyrant’s chained tail tried to keep moving without stopping.
Zig grabbed the chain and breathed the energy of a strong resonance into it.
Wooooow!
The waves traveled along the chain and penetrated the Tyrant’s tail.
[Kuaaaah!]
Using a chain was more effective than blowing waves with a whetstone.
‘This is another effect I didn’t know about.’
The waves of the chain scattered the magical energy surging from the tyrant’s body.
As Zeke pushed the tyrant back the Balrogs became excited and started stamping their feet and making strange screams.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the Balrogs stamped their feet in unison the entire arena shook.
The tyrant glared at Zeke with his red eyes and opened his mouth wide.
[Die human!]
The magic energy compressed inside his mouth again and black flames rose.
The Tyrant poured black magic flames towards Zeke.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!
The black flames of the demon world that burn everything enveloped Zig.
The power of the flame was so strong that the blades stuck in the walls of the arena melted away.
The tyrant thought that humans would not be able to withstand his flames.
That was when.
Dragon’s Sword Technique
Chapter 7 Section 1
Dragon head cut
The sword strike of the dragon killing technique that Ziggy used flew towards the tyrant.
Papa Pot!
[Ugh!]
The tyrant barely managed to twist his body to avoid the devastating blow from Zigg.
Zigg wearing Hersion appeared in the black flames.
The chain extending from his left hand split into two in an instant and wrapped around not only his tail but also the tyrant’s entire body.
Kkwadduk!
[Kuaaaah!]
The chains of the soul-binding spell wrapped around the tyrant preventing him from escaping.

Zeke held Bahamut and aimed his sword at the tyrant.
Wooooow!
The power of the strong wave resonance was added to the infinite chain.
At the same time Zeke raised the power of his spirit.
A light shone from Zig’s eyes hidden by Hersion.
Honshinki
Double Spell
The will to penetrate
Woof woof woof!
Bahamut’s form filled with the will to penetrate gradually changed and soon turned into a spear.
Zeke threw Bahamut which had changed its form towards the tyrant.
Shhhhh!
The will to penetrate containing the power of the strong wave resonance flew towards the tyrant’s heart.
[Kuaaaah!]
The tyrant struggled to escape but the soul sealing technique would not let him go.
Kkwadduk!
Bahamut transformed into a spear pierced through the tyrant’s steel-like body and passed right through.
[Cough!]
Zeke didn’t stop there.
He used the Infinite Chain to power his blade and swung it straight at the tyrant’s horn.
Infinite Chain
Rotational
Hand cutting
Zig’s body wearing Hersion rotated and cut off the Tyrant’s giant horn in one go.
Kkwaddudduk!
The tyrant’s two horns fell to the ground.
[Kuaaaah!]
The tyrant staggered back.
Then the giant body slowly turned into black ash and soon began to completely disperse.
The human Zeke succeeded in subduing the tyrant the champion.
Grrrrrrrr!
As Zeke defeated the Tyrant the Balrogs that had been screaming in the arena also began to slowly turn to black ash and disappear.
Soon none of the Balrogs that had once filled the huge arena remained.
Zig released Hersion and looked at the empty arena.
Feeling extremely tired he collapsed on the floor.
Although I had increased my spiritual power it wasn’t enough to overcome all the aftereffects of using the double spell.
‘It will get better as the level of the soul grows further.’
As my stamina was limited I felt more fatigued.
Zeke finally caught his breath and got up from his seat.
“Whew. Anyway we won by a narrow margin.”
If I hadn’t absorbed the Butcher’s Magic Stone at the end and made Hersion inoperable I might have just melted away in the Tyrant’s black flames.
When Zig who had recovered somewhat went to the place where the tyrant had disappeared he saw a magic stone shining like a black jewel along with two horns and a tooth.
“Is it because you’re a champion? You have some byproducts.”
Zeke checked the information about the tyrant’s horns and teeth.
[Balrog’s horn that evolved into a dragon]
[The teeth of Balrog that evolved into a dragon]
“A Balrog that evolved into a dragon.”
Zig who had been quietly watching it took out his sword and called Arataso.
“Arataso. Do you know what an evolved Balrog is?”
Arataso responded in surprise to Zeke’s words.
[Evolved Balrogs? They are unique creatures that were occasionally seen during the Demon King’s Army. They are Balrogs but they have the power of lower-level demons.]
“If you evolve like that will you become like a dragon?”
[That’s not true. Balrogs absorb the power of the opponents they fight. If it had turned into a dragon it would have fought the dragon absorbed its power and evolved.]
“A Balrog who has absorbed the power of a dragon. How amazing.”
Zeke put the evolved Balrog’s horns and teeth into his inventory.
Then the message came back to me again.
[You have perfectly cleared the second hidden stage.]
[The realm of dedication is amazed by the subject’s amazing abilities.]
[Rewards are given based on successful stage clearing.]
[Reward is being determined.]
[The reward will be delivered to the recipient.]
Just like the reward from the first hidden stage a random box appeared in front of Zig.
But this time unlike before there were only two random boxes.
Both random boxes were glowing gold.
[5000 experience points will be awarded as a reward for surviving the second hidden stage.]
[Two special random boxes will be given as a reward for clearing the hidden stage with amazing skills.]
Zig walked up to the random box that was glowing in a gorgeous golden light.
Arataso in the Uncheolgeom was amazed when he saw the random box.
[The Box of Constellations. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.]
“The constellation box? You mean the random box?”
Then Arataso responded as if asking what was going on.
[I don’t know what a random box is. It’s like a favor that the ancient constellations gave to their incarnations when they were able to intervene in the phenomenal world.]
“The support of the constellations? What does an incarnation mean?”
[Tsk tsk you really don’t know anything.]
“Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly.”
[An incarnation is a being that is like an alter ego of oneself chosen directly by the constellation. Since the constellations are prohibited by karma from directly intervening in the phenomenal world they express their will through them.]
“The will of the constellation is expressed through incarnation. The incarnation must have abilities that go beyond the normal categories.”
[That’s how it should be seen. In the first place not just anyone can become an incarnation of a constellation. Strictly speaking I can also be seen as an incarnation of the ‘clear green wish’.]
“I guess incarnation has nothing to do with race.”
[Yes. The constellations choose the being that can best express their will. The criteria are known only to the constellation in question.]
Zig stared blankly at the random box and then asked Arataso.
“So am I an incarnation of some constellation? I’ve received quite a few random boxes like this.”
Then Arataso clicked his tongue.
[An incarnation is an alter ego chosen by a constellation. If you are an incarnation of a constellation you cannot help but know who that constellation is.]
“Hmm. That’s true.”
It was a different situation from the constellation support that Arataso had mentioned as Zig was receiving karma points and random boxes as a concept of compensation by the system.
As soon as the conversation was over Zeke opened the special random box given to him without hesitation.
When I opened both of them at the same time a tremendous amount of light poured out from inside the boxes.
Zeke checked the artifact inside the box.
“What is this…?”
Inside the box was a strangely shaped horn and a sparkling jewel.
Zeke checked the information right away.
―Gem Information―
Description: A heart filled with the dragon’s magic.
Unique Ability: Magic Conversion
Special feature: The heart of a newly adult dragon that has grown for about 500 years.
―Horn Whistle Information―
Description: A horn containing the power of the ‘Judge of the Endless Struggle’ the master of Balrog.
Unique Ability: Summon Meteor
Special Note: Can only be used on a battlefield filled with the spirit of heated struggle.
“An artifact containing the power of the fallen constellation and the Dragon’s Heart?”
Arataso looked at the hornpipe and was startled.
[The power of the judge of ceaseless struggle. What a precious thing you have obtained.]
“Do you know this constellation?”
[A strong constellation with a similar territorial range to my master. The Tuma tribe that commands Balrog was within the territory of this constellation.]
“What on earth is this thing that can only be used when you’re filled with the spirit of a hot struggle?”
[If you’ve seen the Balrogs you’ll know. The Judge of the Endless Struggle is a constellation that values the will to fight fiercely against power. If he judges that the battlefield is satisfactory it means that he will grant his power.]
“What a tricky artifact to write about.”
[The constellations are actually quite tricky beings.]
Zeke nodded.
He put the hornpipe into his inventory and picked up the dragon heart.
“Hmm this is my first Dragon Heart since Bahamut’s Heart.”
Zeke looked at the dragon heart shining brightly with green light.
That was when.
Woof woof woof!
The Dragon Heart in Zeke’s hand suddenly began to vibrate.
“Hmm?”
In an instant a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
[The system detects a Dragon Heart.]
[Bahamut’s heart reacts.]
[Bahamut’s Heart and Dragon Heart are linked.]
Woof woof woof!
The vibration of Dragon Heart has become stronger.
At the same time a symbol appeared on Zeke’s chest.
Whew Whew Whew!
Light spread out from the pattern.
Then the dragon heart that Zeke was holding in his hand floated into the air.
Phage crackle!
A current of mana emerged from the Dragon Heart and soon connected with the symbol that appeared on Zeke’s chest.
“Ugh!”
The energy emanating from the Dragon Heart was absorbed into Zeke’s body.
“Euuuuuuu!”
Just like when I first received Bahamut’s heart before the interruption an excruciating pain shot through my entire body.
Zeke gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
Soon the splendid light emanating from the Dragon Heart gradually disappeared.
Woof woof woof woof!
At the same time Zeke felt the battle between the two sides expanding rapidly as he absorbed the energy of the Dragon Heart.
“Eww!”
The dragon heart which had soon lost its dazzling light fell to the floor with a thud.
Zig felt as if his whole body was going to burst from the energy of the intermission that was swirling around like a whirlpool.
Then the message window popped up again.
[Absorbs from Bahamut’s heart linked with the energy of the Dragon Heart.]
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
The green glowing pattern began to fade little by little.
Zeke took a deep breath and channeled the energy of the interruption into Bahamut’s heart.
Woof woof woof woof!
Zeke’s whole body vibrated.
At the same time a message window popped up.
[Bahamut’s heart has absorbed all of Dragon Heart’s energy.]
[The seal on Bahamut’s heart is partially released with the absorbed energy.]
[The current compression seal is 55.5%.]
[The system arbitrarily allocates experience points to spirit power.]
[Your spiritual power has increased and your soul level has grown.]
[The soul’s rank increases unlocking the passive skill ‘Limit Break’.]
[The effect of the passive skill ‘Limit Break’ is limited due to the influence of the inverted tower.]
[The seal on Bahamut’s heart is partially released due to the increase in spiritual power. The current compression seal level is 49.5%.]
[The compression sealing rate is lowered to 50% or less.]
[Removes the level 1 restriction placed on the user.]
